How do you say my in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct translation of "my" in Hawaiian like there is in English. In Hawaiian, you would typically use a possessive pronoun based on the context and the item being possessed. Here are some examples:

For things:

* "ko'u" for "my" (singular, for things like book, car, etc.)

* "kou" for "your" (singular)

* "kākou" for "our" (plural, inclusive, including the person you're talking to)

* "kā mākou" for "our" (plural, exclusive, not including the person you're talking to)

For people:

* "ka'u" for "my" (singular, for a person)

* "kāna" for "his/hers" (singular)

* "kā lākou" for "their" (plural)

Example sentences:

* "Ko'u puke" (My book)

* "Kākou hale" (Our house)

* "Ka'u kaikuaʻana" (My older brother)

Important notes:

* The use of possessive pronouns can vary depending on the specific dialect of Hawaiian.

* It's important to note that Hawaiian grammar is different from English, so the exact translation may not always be a literal word-for-word equivalent.

If you need further clarification or have specific examples in mind, please provide more context and I can help you find the most accurate translation.
